Description: 1710 Van der Aa Map of Europe and North Africa WE SELL ONLY ORIGINAL ANTIQUE MAPS - NOT REPRODUCTIONS Title: Tabula Geographica quae Continet Totam Fere Europam et Proxima Africae In usum Historiae Recentioris. Description: An appealing 1710 map of europe and northern Africa by the Dutch map publisher Pieter Van der Aa. The map covers all of continental europe as well as the British Isles and parts of adjacent Scandinavia and Northern Africa, specifically the Maghreb or Barbary Coast. This map is peculiar for its unusual projection, unique to the rare original work of Van der Aa, in which horizontal distance is greatly exaggerated. An elaborate martially themed cartouche appears in the upper left quadrant. Some editions of this map were joined by the publisher to a partner map of western Asia. The present example is a stand-alone edition. Size: Printed area measures 15 inches high by 17 inches wide. Condition: Very good. Slight wear on original fold lines. Lower margin extended. Even overall toning. Shipping: Shipping rates are not negotiable. Items are shipped within three business days of receiving payment. We are happy to consolidate shipping where possible.

DHL or FedEx will contact the buyer by telephone to arrange tax payment if it is levied. Duty varies by country and we cannot predict the amount you will be charged. Some countries are duty free, others are not. Typically, a customs duty and/or VAT tax will be assessed on all parcels to continental Europe. Sometimes duty or tax is due in China, but is seems very random. Hong Kong, Singapore, Korea, and Taiwan have never assessed duty on a map we shipped. Maps shipped to the UK should be duty free as educational materials, but from time to time duty of 5% is assessed incorrectly by the UK customs agents.
